It's too bad TF Gen vol1 and 2 are not in English, otherwise I would've purchased it.LOL, I'm surprise Huffer got a MP design over the other minibots *looking straight at Bumblebee* even if it's just a sketch.

This book is not yet registered in BBTS.
Even if I purchase it, I can expect that cost is high(I am resident in Japan)
It is $ 33 only for book charges.
I think the day when BBTS has books to wait.
It is the book which a lot of documents worth seeing are placed in as well as the image which I introduced. It is a book wanting TF fan except Japan to look by all means.Is this book registered in Amazon .com?

Neo Unicron… meh. The only reason he's so glorified is because he never came out. If he were available, everyone would complain about him being a shellformer.

Cheem The Rup

are u serious ?

Not only is Nevermore serious, he's also very accurate in that statement.

Not only is Neocron a shellformer (which isn't too bad on itself, because IMO he pulls off the look), but he's not that big. IIRC Neocron was going to be close to the size of Optimal Optimus. IMO, Armadacron is a far better toy, specially with the new colors and head, and it manages to include some of the great features from the Neocron design as well.

Though Mr.Guido let a thread enter, I was surprised,,,,
Thank you for a splendid work.
2011 is a memorable year for "TRANSFORMERS HEADMASTERS".
I looked and met it, and there was the contest with ARGETMASTERS and UNITED KUP.I like designs of SIXSHOT.In addition, I wish a work of Mr.Guido is placed in the Japanese book.

Thank you very much for sharing these! I especially love the Pretenders lineart and the Fortress Maximus images. Are the sand colored Fort Max images (with the red and brown detailing) indicating a unreleased "Detritus" color schemed Junkion Maximus?

Fully agreed on the mention of the larger Decepticon Targetmasters, they are some of the most amazing toys of the late G1 line.

that fort max proto finally explains the weird colours from the headmasters #1 cover and marvel US #51. This stuff all looks great. Wish we had got AM Arcee. And that the pretenders had looked as good as those concepts. Love to see the ones for the human pretenders.

Then again, this is what I call "gray model syndrome": Every toy looks awesome as a prototype. Back when photos of a gray model of Armada Overload leaked, the fandom was wetting their pants.

Then the toy came out, in full color, and people started complaining.

well, that's because the colors were HORRIBLE and when we saw it as a grey prototype we had no way of knowing he'd have barely G1 level articulation: I still think he's an awesome "design", just a sub-sub-standard toy ~ at least Energon Ultra Magnus redeemed the colors…

It would be really interesting to get encore reissues from that era of G1. With the big targetmasters like misfire and you can't have to much Sixshot.

Oh Thunderwing. ploting to infiltrate japanese continuity.

If huffer was a masterpiece figure. Then it would be the result of a different direction in the Masterpiece series. Smaller more affordable masterpieces following in the more recent bandai soul of chogokin offerings. Or even from takara with alternity, as a smaller form binaltech.

Also, BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG lulz at Masterpiece Huffer. My word the fan rage that would induce from the "so many more important characters" crowd. They'd have to release him with a giant trollface on the box.

Besides the many more important characters out there, I would say that Huffer does not have a particularly difficult transformation. The entire cab just stays on his back, not even utilized in the process. So many more interesting transformation to take into the MP realm than him

Never seen that first version of Unicron. Looks like a very early prototype/mockup of the one Hasbro keeps….

I've always loved this Unicron concept. And as much as other people complain about shellformers, I always loved shellformers too. The Neo toys were incredible. The Car Robots brothers were great. I've never had a shellformer I didn't like. And frankly, if you want a true planet mode Unicron, shellformer is probably the best way to go to get there.

Too bad we'll never see it because the Armadacron mold has become the standard for Unicron. Not that it's horrible, it just doesn't strike me as a planet.
